I sit with people who’ve lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should’ve gone very differently just like how real conversations go.This isn’t meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different. It’s their story, as they experienced it.In this episode I spoke to — Hollywood Actor Kal PennTimestamps:
